Darts 2015/2016 - 1st Half - Little Lit (home)

SUMMARY

Our first night at our new home Hemmingways....and I'm thinking it could have gone much better...we welcome Marty to the mix this week....it was a crazy week...Ed wins a cricket match...Jeff and Johnny lose in cricket...I chucked 5 under 40's...ughghgh....we only one 1 801 game...we split our 501 games and we only won 1 cricket game...not exactly stellar performance....we also found out that Johnny may miss some time due to work opportunities...but the pizza was good and the beer was cold...I guess I can't ask for everything...we lost the week 6-9....and we know how much I hate losing....so let's pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and give it another go at home in a week...

THE STATS

FINES (TEAM 17)
(0-1)	Jeff (0)	Marty (1 under 20)
(2)	Ed (1 under 20 / 1 missed out)	John (1 C-rule / 1 missed out)	Bob (1 C-rule / 1 squat in cricket)
(3+)	Frank (2 under 20 / 1 missed out)
(7)	Ted (4 under 20, 1 C-rule, 2 squats in cricket)

This week we collected 16 in fines...Ted was the winner of the "Prestigious Skippy Award Winner" with 7 in fines...so almost half our fines were by one person...I guess it was from the sniffles....

'01 AVERAGE (TEAM 49.37)
(>=55)	Jeff (57.44)
(45-54)	John (53.71)	Ed (52.38)	Ted (50.19)	Marty (45.28)
(40-45)	Bob (44.20)	Frank (36.48)
(<40)

we barely missed our team goal of a 50 average by only hitting a 49.37 team average...4 shooters over a 50 is good...2 shooters under a 45....

% OF SHOTS OVER 40 (TEAM 60.31%)
(>=80%)
(67-79%)	Jeff (79.17%)	John (76.19%)
(51-67%)	Ted (60.87%)	Ed (55.00%)	Bob (50.00%)	Marty (50.00%)
(<=50%)	Frank (38.89%)

we slipped from last week....we had 2 shooters over 75%...1 shooter around 60%....and everyone else was in the 50% range or less...gotta hit good numbers every round...focus on the fatties...

TONS (TEAM 7)
(>=3)	Jeff (3)
(1-2)	John (2)	Ed (1)	Ted (1)
(0)	Bob (0)	Frank (0)	Marty (0)

back to single digit team tons....only 2 shooters with multiple tons....and only 2 other shooters with 1 ton....Bob, Frank and Marty weren't "in the mood" to chuck a triple digit score...

HIGH SCORE (TEAM 135)
(>100)	Ed (135)	Ted (121)	Jeff (118)	John (117, 108)
(100)
(75-99)	Marty (96)	Bob (93)	Frank (78)
(<75)

5 high tons this week...3 shooters without a ton...

LOW GAME AVERAGE (TEAM 35.36)
(>=50)
(40-49)	John (40.25)	Jeff (40.17)
(30-39)	Bob (38.40)	Ted (32.25)	Ed (31.67)
(<30)	Frank (22.00)	Marty (19.50)

only 2 shooters with a low game average in the 40's...3 in the 30's...1 in the 20's....and 1 in the teens...not exactly what I consider strong shooting...

SINGLE DIGIT SCORES (TEAM 1)
(0)	John	Bob / Frank	Jeff	Ted / Marty
(1)	Ed (6)
(>1)

only 1 single digit score this week....at least Ed took over the new low score of the year with a 6...

DOUBLE INS (TEAM 8di / 3mi / 72.73%)
(>=75%)	Jeff (4di / 0mi / 100.00%)	Frank (1di / 0mi / 100.00%)
(50-75%)	Ed (2di / 2mi / 50.00%)	John (1di / 1mi / 50.00%)
(1-49%)
(0%)

only single digit missed ins for the 2nd week in a row......Jeff went 4-4 at the ins...Ed, John and Frank went a combined 4-7 at the ins...Bob, Ted and Marty didn't even get a shot at an in...excellent job at the ins...

DOUBLE OUTS (TEAM 5do / 18mo / 21.74%)
(>=2)	Jeff (2do / 2mo / 50.00%)	John (2do / 3mo / 40.00%)
(1)	Ed (1do / 5mo / 16.67%)
(0)	Bob (0do / 1mo / 0.00%)	Ted (0do / 2mo / 0.00%)	Frank (0do / 3mo / 0.00%)

still way too many missed outs...this week we had 18 missed outs...3 shooters with an out....3 shooters without an out...Marty didn't get a shot at an out...need everyone to start hitting the outs...

CRICKET AVERAGE (TEAM 1.69)
(>=2.50)	Jeff (2.50)
(2.00-2.49)	Ed (2.11)	John (2.00)
(1.50-1.99)	Ted (1.44)
(<1.50)	Frank (1.13)	Bob (0.88)

we missed out team goal of a 2.0 average for the 2nd week in a row.......we had 3 shooters above a 2.0 and 3 shooters below a 2.0....

>=3 MARK CRICKET ROUNDS (TEAM 20.00%)
(>=50%)
(30-49%)	Ed (33.33%)	Jeff (33.33%)
(1-29%)	Ted (22.22%)	Bob (12.50%)
(0%)	John (0.00%)	Frank (0.00%)

2 shooters over 33%...everyone else was below 25%...John and Frank had a big goose egg....

0 MARK CRICKET ROUNDS (TEAM 7)
(0)	Ed (0)	John (0)	Jeff (0)
(0 except 1 at cork)	Frank (1 at cork)
(1-2)
(>=3)	Bob (3)	Ted (3)

way too many squat shots...3 of them were fineable...gotta hit what you are aiming at...

WIN PERCENTAGE (TEAM 40.00%)
(>=67%)
(50-66%)	Bob (60.00%)	Ed (57.14%)
(26-49%)	John (42.86%)	Frank (33.33%)	Marty (33.33%)	Jeff / Ted (28.57%)
(<=25%)

only 2 shooters at 50% or higher...4 shooters at 50% or lower...we have to find ways to win games...

THE QUOTES

Jeff --> John's choosing advancement in work rather than improving our dart team...

Bob (to Ed) --> way to come back after sucking in the beginning...

John busts on a 77....EDITORIAL COMMENT: if that 0 didn't count Johnny's average would have been a 56.10 instead of a 53.71....which is a 2.39 point increase...

Ed (to John) --> good game of NoocH...the extended version...

Ed blames his 6 on the pizza...

Ed --> after 9:30 Little Lit wakes up...

John --> call that a streak...

Ed (to Jeff) --> you waste all your good shots on Tuesday?

John (to Jeff) --> you iced Teddy...Jeff --> there's no icing him...he woke up in a freezer today...

CONCLUSION

don't really have much good to say about a losing week...we will just have fight through the losses and figure out how to win some games...next week we play at home against Polonia #3...let's come ready to play....
